Khun Yoong - Burmese Sequinned Embroidery (WorldTote Bag)

Khun Yoong is a small, sweet-faced Burmese woman who lives in a village near Mae Sai called Padang. She is HIV-positive. Because the symptoms of the disease leave her unable to continue construction and field labor, she ekes out a living through her extraordinary talent for sequin and beadwork. Before being introduced to Izara Arts, she was being paid a mere 80 to 130 baht apiece – between two and four U.S. dollars – for intricately beaded dresses that took her four or five days to complete.

Izara Arts is the income generation project of the Khom Loy Development Foundation, a charity working in Thailand to assist the northern ethnic minority groups commonly referred to as "hilltribes".

We help design and produce handicrafts for sale in western markets, using the profits to develop the producer communities as well as creating new products to help include more groups in our activities. We follow the fair trade philosophy so the producers can profit from the creativity and painstaking labour that they invest in these products.

Using traditional techniques combined with modern style, we have created exquisite products from silk, cotton and other traditional materials that look good and reflect well on you, on your home, and on the planet.
